Beads of Courage box

Post by blmac5 »

Turned this BOC box out of cypress then used the rotary attachment on my CNC to do some engraving on it.
Since I am a fan of the Super hero movies and since this will be going to a child that is undergoing some type
of chemo treatment, I decided to use a Super hero theme. The engravings were done with a v bit and then I filled
in the engravings with coffee grounds and sealed with CA glue. I hope it brighten up some child's life as they are
going through a rough period in their life.

Well, it’s just been pointed out to me, and I never noticed it, the “S” is reversed in the Superman logo. Back to the lathe. Hope I can get it to fit the lid again.

Very thoughtful. Not only great carving but meaningful symbolism for an important cause. Well done.

Very nice and a great cause. Even the tiniest bit of comfort that anything offers to cancer treatment patients is a great thing be it young old.
I also blew right over the mirrored S. Just shows how recognizable that S is. The minds eye is a tricky one.
Thanks for sharing and giving to a great cause.

Hi: Okay, I'm missing something here. I noticed that the sides are tapered. How is that done on the rotary axis? Norm

Thanks for all the comments, they are appreciated.
If the reference to the taper, referring to the lid, it wasn't done on the rotary axis. I turned the lid on my regular lathe. The star in the middle
was done with a woodburner. The only thing done on the rotary axis were the logos.

Turned another BOC box and engraved it. This time the "S" in the Superman logo is facing the right direction.
